FinTech Breakfast Club 2026

A morning session at the Barclays Innovation Hub in Shoreditch, run with Innovate Finance, bringing together fintech founders, investors and people inside the incumbents.

Breakfast format, 08:30 to 11:00, with the usual mix of short content and a long networking window. Innovate Finance is the UK industry body, so the room tends to pull in policy and regulatory people alongside the operators. Free, registration on Eventbrite.

Why go: the Barclays Rise building is where a lot of UK fintech deal conversation starts, and a free breakfast with Innovate Finance in the room is a cheap way into it. Best for early-stage fintech founders and anyone selling into banks.
